WCISEC recognizes that all children and young people come to our 20 districts with:

* The right to be educated in the least restrictive environment.

* The right and responsibility to become a useful member of society and to develop individual abilities.

* The right to enjoy these rights regardless of race, color, disability, sex, religion, national and social origin.

West Central Illinois Special Education Co-op seeks for each child a life of self-sufficiency and productive citizenship.

WCISEC recognizes that the education of students with disabilities is a collaborative responsibility. It is a responsibility demanding the attention and commitment of all segments of the school and the larger community. The goal of special education is a collective endeavor pursued by educators, administrators, related service personnel, parents and, most importantly, the students. 

Welcome from the Director

Welcome to the West Central Illinois Special Education Cooperative.  Please take the opportunity to look at the various types of programs and services we offer.  We are extremely proud of our staff members, Executive Committee, and Governing Board, who are dedicated to insure all students with disabilities receive prompt and appropriate responses to their educational needs.

 The West Central Illinois Special Education Cooperative is a special education joint agreement that provides a full continuum of services to twenty school districts in the five west central Illinois counties of  Hancock, Henderson, Fulton, Schuyler, and McDonough.  We provide a coordinated set of services for all students and are committed to developing each student’s full potential through broad and varied programs.

Please feel free to contact us by email or phone if you would like to talk about any of our programs, services, professional development opportunities, or employment opportunities.

Sincerely,

Bill Pumo
